HAVANA >> The top Republican in the U.S. House says of Fidel Castro’s death, “The cruelty and oppression of his regime should die with him.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan says that there is much left to do to bring freedom to the Cuban people and that the U.S. “must be fully committed to that work.”

Ryan adds that Castro’s passing is a time to “reflect on the memory and sacrifices of all those who have suffered under the Castros.”
